While I'm an atheist(in the sense that I don't believe or subscribe to any religion), I don't feel that whether a person is religious or not is a matter pertaining to intelligence. Throughout the millenia people of extraordinary intelligence have taken religion seriously.

To consider myself mentally superior to the likes of Balthasar Gracian, Francis Bacon, St. Augustine, Aquinas or Isaac Newton(to name a few) just because I don't subscribe to any religion... well, that takes an amount of arrogance that I'm just not capable of summoning.:yeshrug:
Don't loop Issac Newton in with the rest of those cretians.

Newton was ONLY religious because he didn't know enough. If he was alive today, he'd certainly be as atheist as you could be.

Hell, its WELL documented his views on religion changed so much he was a borderline heretic.

Religion keeps black folks from accepting reality.
Instead of making a change, black folks rather wait for a man to come floating out the sky.

Not true; if you check the history, the majority black working class and poor actually clashed with the middle class clergy all the time about being more assertive in fighting racial oppression...the middle class preachers and elites, always historically small in population, were doing what you said while the black masses were going against the church and staging agency driven demonstration and self-defense violence the entire 20th century...

Read your history breh; Check Carson's "In Struggle" or Todd Shaw's "Now is the Time" and check my thread later tonight for more on local blacks going against the clergy to arm themselves against white violence

dude is obsessed with God in some retarded kind of way.:russ:

You never see religious people on here constantly making threads geared at atheist. Why do you care so much? Most aren't even concerned with your thoughts. Our faith is unshaken breh :mjlol:

In a debate, religion shouldn't be used (unless of course it is an in-religion debate), but other than that I don't see anything wrong with people being religious.

I'm not religious myself, but I would consider myself spiritual. Nothing inherently wrong with either.

And atheists are just as bad as religious folks with their faith. They are both believing in (or not believing in) something without any evidence.

Agnosticism :blessed:
FALSE

Agnosticism is NOT the same thing.

Agnosticism = knowledge.

Atheism = Belief

Breh you can't come up against the white man while holding onto the bible cuz you holding onto his book.
When a black man hold onto the bible you have to deny your history.

I am



Nah, I disagree. Religion has nothing to do with the problems the black community deals with

Its not the biggest issue, but the church, not the religion, is a capitalist structure and has historically quelled black anger about white racism...check Ida B. Wells pamphlets and Kwame Ture's writings...the church (not the religion) is a co-optation force, especially during the black freedom movement of the 1950s and 1960s

I agree I'm just stating that the black masses did not simply follow Christianity and church like people think...they went against the church when it came to lynching, black power, and urban rebellion alot...its more complex than just saying religion holds blacks back

:huhldup: Nah cuz the first one was ridiculous enough.
Nah I mean, you should read more about atheists killing in the name of atheism. I already spoke on Stalin:



Raised in the Georgian Orthodox faith, Stalin became an atheist. He followed the position that religion was an opiate that needed to be removed in order to construct the ideal communist society. His government promoted atheism through special atheistic education in schools, anti-religious propaganda, the antireligious work of public institutions (Society of the Godless), discriminatory laws, and a terror campaign against religious believers. By the late 1930s it had become dangerous to be publicly associated with religion.[97]

Stalin's role in the fortunes of the Russian Orthodox Church is complex. Continuous persecution in the 1930s resulted in its near-extinction as a public institution: by 1939, active parishes numbered in the low hundreds (down from 54,000 in 1917), many churches had been leveled, and tens of thousands of priests, monks and nuns were persecuted and killed. Over 100,000 were shot during the purges of 1937–1938.[98][99] During World War II, the Church was allowed a revival as a patriotic organization, and thousands of parishes were reactivated until a further round of suppression during Khrushchev's rule. The Russian Orthodox Church Synod's recognition of the Soviet government and of Stalin personally led to a schism with the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia.

Just days before Stalin's death, certain religious sects were outlawed and persecuted. Many religions popular in ethnic regions of the Soviet Union, including the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Catholic Churches, Baptists, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism underwent ordeals similar to that which the Orthodox churches in other parts of the country suffered: thousands of monks were persecuted, and hundreds of churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, sacred monuments, monasteries and other religious buildings were razed. Stalin had a different policy outside the Soviet Union; he supported the Communist Uyghur Muslim separatists under Ehmetjan Qasim in the Ili Rebellion against the Anti Communist Republic of China regime. He supplied weapons to the Uyghur Ili army and Red Army support against Chinese forces, and helped them establish the Second East Turkestan Republic of which Islam was the official state religion.
